I support what George Bush had to say today about housing.
Gag. Cough. Hey, what's that in the window - oh, dear, it's a pig.
Seriously, we may be having an impact here. I think George Bush and Karl Rove have just stumbled on a winner, thanks to HP and sites like ours.
The majority of America doesn't want to see a Hillary-Clinton-style housing gambler bailout.
The majority of taxpaying Americans don't want to have taxpayer dollars going toward propping up home prices.
The majority of Americans have come to see the housing bubble for what it was, and accept that prices need to come back down.
And future potential GOP voters - renters, young adults, immigrants, etc - would be penalized if the government stupidly tries to prop up stupid home prices!!!!
Well I'll be damned. Great. Wonder what took 'em so long. Now let's see if they can hold the line, and veto any sh*t that comes from our corrupted Congress.
Here's Bush, still The Worst President Ever, pulling his head out of his ass long enough to see the light on housing. Thanks Mark for the tip:
Some in Washington say the government should take action to artificially prop up home prices. It's important to understand that this would hurt millions of Americans.
For example, many young couples trying to buy their first home have been priced out of the market because of inflated prices. The market now is in the process of correcting itself, and delaying that correction would only prolong the problem.
My Administration opposes these proposals. Instead, we are focused on helping a targeted group of homeowners — those who have made responsible buying decisions and could avoid foreclosure with a little help.
OK, now back to Bush being a dumbass....
March 15, 2008
George Bush has a message to housing gamblers, failed flippers, Democrats in congress and anyone looking for a government housing bailout: SUCK IT!!
OK, I'm only gonna say this once, so sit down, grab a pillow, get comfy, here it comes....

I'm not enthusiastic about a Federal bailout of people who got in over their heads, either. However, the fact remains that so many people have abandoned their houses that in many sections of the country the vacant housing is becoming an overwhelming problem for local governments. And despite the rhetoric coming out of the Bush Administration about their jawboning lenders to work with those in default, what I'm reading indicates that few lenders are showing any forbearance. For one thing, there is no longer a direct connection between the original lender and the borrowers thanks to securitization. And last and certainly not least, Hank Paulson's Goldman Sachs by cynically shorting mortgage backed securities while they were selling them to clients, have profited immensely from a collapsing housing market.

W's overlords will change his stance in the name of helping out the little guy. But really it will be a bailout for America's finance industry.
Meanwhile the dollar continues to be devalued. Down 43% versus other currencies & 70% vs. precious metals in just the past few years.

1. What would George have done (WWGD) in december about that $600 stimulus package??? oh, how a couple of months can change his tune...
2. If you believe in a serious collapse, including jobs and the economy, everything goes on the table - at least until the election...
3. OTOH, he does need to squirrel away the cash to run his wars and bail out the REAL deserving folks - like Bear, Stearns and the other 80% of Wall St. standing in line behind them...

Game it out folks. Why would BushCo and the GOP switch directions, and instead of their "Hope Now" bullsh*t, and all this talk about bailing out the housing gamblers, now they're saying "if you overcorrect you go into a ditch"
Something changed.
Here's some bonus thoughts:
1) they found HP
2) their internal polling showed that attitudes have changed and people don't want taxpayer money used to bail out house prices
3) they remembered Terri Schiavo
4) They're focused on bailing out the banks and investors, and will screw the little guys, especially the minorities and low-earners who were the last ones into the housing ponzi scheme (i.e. democrats)
5) They've come to understand that hte problem is so massive, that there's no way they could afford a bailout of homedebtors
6) They're being shown the door anyway, so might as well do what's right even if it's not popular
Gotta be something to this. In the history of this blog, I think this is the first time I've agreed with Bush

Agree with Keith's #4 = bailing out banks, stockholders and Wall Street, and screw the "late to the party" buyers (who were a lot of working class white people and minorities). . .- on the ground here in SD County - rich Republican neighborhoods like Rancho Sante Fe or La Jolla have lost all of 5% on housing prices, while Chula Vista a working class area is foreclosure capital and losses there are approaching 50% in some neighborhoods.
Most rich Republicans are older, probably bought their house in 1980 or 1975 and have seen the value go from 200K to 2 million! If they "loose" a few hundred K in value, they don't really care. They are also getting low property taxes under prop 13 - so they are likely paying $3000 a year on a two million dollar house, while those who bought a stucco shitbox for 500K pay $6000 a year in taxes. . .so, Bush's "people" want their stocks and bonds bailed out, but don't want Chula Vista or Cleveland, Oh bailed out.

Hey steve -
If abandoned houses are a problem, prices should be lowered. Then people will buy and move into the houses.
If local governments are hoping prices will stay where they are, then they deserve the problems they are having.
A party that calls itself "Democrat" is advocating a policy which will keep house prices unaffordable for working people, mostly for the benefit of financial institutions who should have known better, during an election year! Amazing.

- March 15, 2008 6:33 PM
Any bailout at this point only tricks the recipients (FB'er)in to thinking they can afford their overpriced depreciating asset for for a few more years and to continue making worthless (and unnecessary) payments to the banks. This is a bank subsidy.
It is in the best financial interest of the FB's to mail their keys back to the banks now, do not delay. Let the market correct already!
Anyway, I sure as hell don't want any of my money subsidizing FB'ers or banks.... they need to work it out amongst themselves.

Whatever changed it wasn't Bush's idea. He doesn't have ideas, he reads what he is told to read. Quit giving him credit he isa talking head. Nothing else. What has changed is that the dominoes are falling faster than Ben can keep up. Bush gets told what to say and he says it along with a few folksy little jokes along the way and a tap dance or two.
Paulson and the real movers and shakers realize that they are screwed, so they send George out to read the lines and make everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
And of course all of you breathe and clap and cheer.

He should be held accountable as the economic fraud and meltdown happened under his watch and made to pay the political price.
You're now giving him a free pass, but the truth is no matter what the gov't tries to do with the housing bubble, there is no fix anyway, until the things play out.
- March 15, 2008 7:18 PM
Steve, if people and the lending institution abandon a house and it becomes run down, the town should demand that the bank clean it it up. If it doesn't, the town should condemn and sell it (for a reasonable price). Profits for the town and a reasonably priced house for a young couple.
- March 15, 2008 7:21 PM
It's a little bit too late to indulge in any laissez fair fantasies about limiting government's involvement in the American housing industry. The whole structure of housing rests on government programs. Without the GI Bill, FHA and the rest there never would have been a push from the cities after World War II and people stepping up to their first homes, mostly in the new suburbs. And those suburbs wouldn't function without the interstate highway system that made them accessible. In 1940 two thirds of all Americans rented their homes. There is no way to disentangle government from the housing industry unless you'd like to take a real chance of triggering a total economic collapse. It's not going to happen. The practical reality is that the private sector wants government to stay out of its way when it's making money, and is eager to invite it in when it is in trouble, as is now the case. And given their track record, I think the credibility of both Paulson and his boss are about zero these days. The financial crisis we're seeing now isn't because of too much government, but because the government failed in its duty to regulate the marketplace with the tools it already has had on the books.
- March 15, 2008 7:34 PM
Keith; sure I agree no bailout for housing gamblers but on the other hand why does BushCo support a BAILOUT FOR WALL STREET...BEAR STEARNS???
Why cant wall street suck it up too and raise the damn interest rates and allow the hpusing prices to correct to normal levels
- March 15, 2008 8:03 PM
I have to admit I support Bush on most issues. As person that profession is security I disagree with the left on Iraq.
But, I think either side would make a mess of this. The GOP says leave us be, then when the screw up they cry for us to bail them out. The Democrats believe in wealth re-distrobution and that means higher taxes and big govt.
We need a mix. Keep govt big enough to protect folks as much as possible but keep people motiviated.
In general I think we are in a world of crap right now and montary policy was part of that.

- March 15, 2008 8:34 PM
Democrats and Republicans both have the same goal of bailing out Wall Street. The only difference is that the Democrats pretend that they are bailing out the little guy.
It's not too late for the government to stay out of this. Any lenders who don't take care of their foreclosed property should have it taken away from them in a court order. The city can then sell the property as owner occupied only. No flippers allowed. Nothing can fix the problem of abandoned houses because there are just too many of them and they cost too much. Propping up home prices isn't going to solve anything. Anyone who cannot afford their mortgage needs to simply walk away and let the debt investors take the hit. It's not worth working two jobs or emptying out your 401k and IRA. It's not worth it wasting trillions of tax dollars to prop up prices. We need to see Bear, Merrill, Lehman, Wachovia, CountryWide and IndyMac bankrupt. We need to get rid of Citi. Their management screwed up big time and bankruptcy should be the result. Only a massive shock will bring back the needed regulation.
- March 15, 2008 9:12 PM
Re: Ranma tendo and refuse to buy overpriced: There's no question that the huge number of abandoned homes are a big problem that has to be addressed. I understand from my reading that 10% of all the houses in Cleveland are now boarded up, and there's plenty of other communities where the problem is also acute. But to imagine that the private sector alone will straighten out the mess I think is a fantasy. In many cases a genuine buyer willing and able to purchase a vacant property finds it is almost impossible to locate the current owner of the mortgage. Maybe the initial mortgage was made locally, but in most cases (especially with risky loans such as Subprime or Alt-A) those mortgages were then sold, resold and split into various subcategories of the "creative financing" that Greenspan used to think were so great. It is in many cases physically impossible for an ordinary citizen to track down who owns the place they would like to buy. And the same goes for the municipalities who have to spend money securing properties where the owner is persons unknown. I expect that the ultimate resolution will be the setup of some type of public agency that will track down ownership and secure legal title, then dispose of the property in some fair and equitable manner. I'm well aware of how badly government bureaucracies can mess up things. But I'm also fairly sure that few people want abandoned houses close to where they live, and that's true whether they are owners or tenants.

I detect some doublespeak.
Bush will oppose the bailout of speculators but he fully approves of what the fed is doing for investment banks.
I'm glad that he's letting home prices fall back to affordable levels. But it doesn't seem right that the fed is accepting crap mortgage-backed securities as collateral in exchange for t-bills which are actually worth something.
This is like what nobel-prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz said of RTC, it's just a non-transparent way of re-introducing liquidity into the system by giving them money. The system needs liquidity (money) so you need to give money to someone somehow. But those who don't get money will complain about it unless you do it in a sneaky, opaque way - that's exactly what they're doing.
A bailout is a bailout is a bailout.

I hope you people from NC and PA do the right thing and vote for Hillary, after those two sick bastards slaughtered the University of North Carolina student body president, Eve Carson. This 22 years old honor student was shot several times, including once in the temple, probably while she pleaded for mercy.
You don't reinforce bad behavior by voting now for Obama, especially now that his black pastor was busted on video disseminating hatred, during his inflammatory sermons, against everyone else who's not black in America. That's the kind of church that Obama attends. If Obama patronizes that kind of message, it clearly defines his mindset. Are you going to reward that kind of behavior with your votes?
Imagine what these out-of-control punks, who're running loose in the streets, will do to your daughters attending college away from home, once Obama becomes president. Remember their general reaction to OJ Simpson's verdict? Celebration!
So you do the right thing during the primaries in PA and NC, by not rewarding classes who couldn't care less about the slaying of those innocent girls, who were treated worse than animals.
But I wouldn't be surprised with the outcome because now in America crime pays and bad behavior is reinforced. Just look at all the rappers who were pushing crack not too long ago who now have 10 exotic cars in the garage and pay $2k for a bottle of Cristal thanks to the fools who throw hard earned money at them. For those groups, commit armed robbery and murder in order to get easy money to buy Sean John sweaters is totally reasonable. and what Americas does? Votes for their candidates.
Most of the people who voted for Bush and Cheney twice are now picking Obama, including the corrupt MSM, along with all the other blacks who are selling hatred against everyone else who's not black in the US. Do you trust them to pick your next president?
Do you trust the privileged Gen Y? Do you trust Hollywood celebs? Do you trust the ghetto that always want to be compensated by living like welfare parasites while butchering our productive and law-abiding youngsters? Do you trust rappers? Do you trust Louis Farrakahn? Do you trust the corrupt MSM who are portraying Obama as the next Messiah while giving him a free pass on all the shady stories?
These are the groups picking your next president...and you're letting them, as usual.

I agree. It's all in the wording and delivery, IMO. The goverment will step in. RTC II will be called the U. S. Government Housing Renewal Corporation or some other bullshit name, but it will still basically be the RTC II/government bail-out, IMO. Congress will have their little paws in it too, trying to take credit for helping the "struggling" homeowner. All the while, bankers, homebuilders and Wall Street will be snickering in the corner, stuffing their pockets with goverment money.
It's election year, and EVERY politician in Washington D. C. is trying to "one-up" the opposing political party. Bush and co. will do anything to make McCainker sore look good. And, there's nothing more than Congressmen and Congresswomen like better than to keep their sponge jobs.

Still drinking the Obama's Kool-Aid or are you just an irrational Clinton Hater?
Rezko's role bigger than admitted
Barack Obama on Friday acknowledged that he had substantially underrepresented the cash raised for his earlier campaigns by indicted businessman Antoin "Tony" Rezko.
But Obama's campaign said it could not donate to charity as much as $90,000 in newly acknowledged Rezko-linked contributions because the old campaign accounts were closed and the money spent.
Obama's acknowledgment that Rezko raised as much as $250,000 for earlier campaigns, initially made in an interview with The Chicago Tribune and confirmed later to Politico, came after a year-and-a-half-long trickle of admissions about Rezko's fundraising role and more than a month after Obama's aides contended that they had identified and jettisoned all Rezko-linked cash. It also came as Rezko's trial on corruption charges, underway in Chicago, brought increased scrutiny of Obama's ties to the real estate developer, fast-food magnate and political insider.
LaBolt also said the campaign would release new information about a much-scrutinized land deal between Obama and Rezko's wife, which Obama has called a "boneheaded" mistake.
A Politico analysis of campaign finance and court records found Rezko's fundraising for Obama extended well beyond the confines of the initial list and overlapped with contributions prosecutors plan to highlight in Rezko's trial in federal court in Chicago.
The review turned up donations previously unnoted by media and Obama's campaign. And it found a pattern in which, on at least seven occasions, groups of five or more Rezko associates and workers would on the same day write big, often matching checks to Obama's campaigns, starting with his failed 2000 congressional race.
- March 15, 2008 11:47 PM
Here's an excerpt taken directly from the church run by Obama's pastor, Wright, who hates everyone who's not black in America, just like all the Muslims hate us:
The Pastor as well as the membership of Trinity United Church of Christ is committed to a 10-point Vision:
4. A congregation with a non-negotiable COMMITMENT TO AFRICA.
9. A congregation committed to RESTORATION.
10. A congregation working towards ECONOMIC PARITY.
This is the same pastor who was caught on video spreading hatred against EVERYONE who's not black in the US, and who married Obama and Michelle and baptized their two daughters. They both attend that church frequently, so you know why Michelle Obama says that she's not proud of the US, while earning more than $300k per year to do nothing (favor job from Senator Obama's cronies).
You can assume that those points will be followed by Obama if president, so prepare yourselves to pay a lot of taxes to support Africa and provide more welfare to all those parasites who slaughter female students at universities, like the 22 year-old Eve in NC.
Obama will turn this country into a welfare haven for blacks, Muslims, and Africa, at your expense. That's why Obama's only bill in the Senate to date was a $1 trillion donation to Africa funded by hard working taxpayers. Obama's following the orders from his nutcase pastor who said that the US created AIDS virus to kill blacks. Tha Obama bill is part of those 10 points, RESTORATION and PARITY by taking money from people who actually work for a living and giving away to violent parasites.
Do you want your next president to be listening to this kind of adviser?
I guarantee that you'll be working a lot harder to pay higher taxes and support all those welfare parasites who breed like flies, factories of criminals who slaughter your daughters who are away in college (i.e., Eve Carson in NC). You can go to the website and check for yourself if you don't believe me:

It's not a trade, they still have to pay it back. The FB's already got their bailout by being able to walk away with no tax consequences.
Who are the victims? Nobody. The FB's put zero down and got to live in a house they couldn't afford with a negam loan. Now they are going back to renting where they were before. Some of them even got to pull out equity. Tell me again how are they being victimized?
IMO the regulations should have been in place to prevent the whole thing, but anyone with a brain knows that the Fed isn't going to let the entire banking system fall apart. There will be no food, water, medicine, utilities or anything needed to survive. Is that what you really want? Do you have enough food and ammo to save yourself, your relatives and friends?

I-Team: New Mortgage Fraud Task Force Makes First Arrest
Representatives from the IRS, the Metro police department, the FBI, the U.S. Attorney's Office, the Attorney General's office and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development announced the indictment of a local couple as the task force's first case.
Eve Mazzarella, a 30-year-old real estate broker who promotes herself as a rags to riches success story and her husband Steve Grimm face charges for bank fraud, aiding and abetting and money laundering.
Investigators believe the couple used bogus buyers to purchase more than 200 homes on their behalf at inflated prices.
"The alleged scheme involved $100 million in loans with much of the proceeds being diverted to the defendants for their own personal use and benefit and not for the purposes the proceeds were intended," said Gregory Brower, U.S. Attorney for Nevada.
More than half of the homes involved went into foreclosure. Officials say this scheme is just one of many permutations that impact the real estate market and cost taxpayers billions of dollars every year.
"It's like credit card fraud. We all pay a little bit more in terms of our credit card bills because of credit fraud, the same thing is true of mortgage fraud. We're all victims," said Brower.
- March 16, 2008 1:14 AM
Here's how it should go: If the owner of the house cannot be easily identified, the town should send a letter to whatever name is on the deed and advertise in a local and a national paper for thirty days that it is going to seize the property if the owner does not step forward. If whatever bank or group of banks that owns fractional shares does not show up, they forfeit their rights. If a bank shows up that owns 10% of the house, they then get 10% of the condemned value, minus 10% of administrative costs for the effort it took to find them. If a bank shows up that owns 100%, they get to pay the full administrative costs and get fined each day that they do not keep the house up to code. Banks should be treated as harshly as a homeowner would be if s/he decided not to keep the house in reasonable condition.
- March 16, 2008 1:48 AM
I can't believe the "progressive" bullshit I'm reading here.
Oh dear, we can't have empty houses, and it's sooo hard to find the owners, so let's turn it all over to the feds even though we know they'll screw the pooch every time!
And it will be just fine when poor people pay for it all through higher income taxes (the 10% rate is going to 15%) and the most regressive tax of all - inflation. Is there any problem for which you idiots don't envision a government "solution"?
If we leave things alone, the free markets can solve this problem in less than a year. It will take the government 5-10 years to do the same thing. There will be terrible pain and dislocation but unlike your "shared pain" nonsense, the people suffering will be the flippers, fools, and lenders who pandered to them. House prices will be reset to true market levels and we can all get on with life again.

Steve- it was Clinton admin. that dismantelled the Glass Steagel banking regulations in the 90's. Glass Steagel was put in place during the Depression to ensure that what happened back then would never happen again.
Clinton started the Housing Bubble by getting rid of Glass Steagel and then getting rid of capital gains under 250K (single) and 500K (couple) for sale of house. (At a time when homes, even in pricey West Coast cities could be had for under 200K!)
The bubble kicked off in a massive way in the West Coast tech cities in the 90's as a direct result of these changes by Clinton. Then the Bush admin. carried the whole mess forward. And NOBODY in Congress ever demanded over the past decade that the Federal Reserve DO THEIR JOB and regulate the banks.
Lots of fools on both sides of the political aisle MADE THIS MESS.
At least ONE politician now, Bush, has said BASTA.

Learning from Ferguson: A World Without Police
From Counterpunch – by Peter Gelderloos
In two previous essay, I discussed the role of the Left in protecting the police through cautious reformism, and the effectiveness of a pacified, falsified—in a word disarmed—history of the Civil Rights movement to prevent us from learning from previous struggles and achieving a meaningful change in society.
The police are a racist, authoritarian institution that exists to protect the powerful in an unequal system. Past and present efforts to reform them have demonstrated that reformism can't solve the problem, though it does serve to squander popular protests and advance the careers of professional activists. Faced with this situation, in which Left and Right unwittingly collude to prolong the problem, the extralegal path of rioting, seizing space, and fighting back against the police makes perfect sense. In fact, this phenomenon, denounced as "violence" by the media, the police, and many activists in unison, was not only the most significant feature of the Ferguson rebellion and the solidarity protests organized in hundreds of other cities, it was also the vital element that made everything else possible, that distinguished the killing of Michael Brown from a hundred other police murders. What's more, self-defense against state violence (whether excercized by police or by tolerated paramilitaries like the Klan) is not an exceptional occurrence in a long historical perspective, but a tried and true form of resistance, and one of the only that has brought results, in the Civil Rights movement and earlier.
What remains is to speak about possibilities that are radically external to the self-regulating cycle of tragedy and reform. What remains is to speak loudly and clearly about a world without police.
We don't want better police. We don't want to fix the police. On the contrary, we understand that the police work quite well; they simply do not work for us and they never have. We want to get rid of the police entirely, and we want to live in a world where police are not necessary.

It may feel like you're going to a high school friend's wedding every damn month with a wrapped box of steak knives, but more "first unions" among women under the age of 44 are cohabitation (shacking up, hollaaaa) rather than marriage, reports USA Today (via Jezebel.) Over 12,000 women between the ages of 15 and 24 were surveyed from 2006 to 2010 about their mating rituals and lifestyle choices.
The demographers who studied these women call shacking up "a new phenomenon," which may sound a little ridiculous since this HAS been going on for quite some time. From the study: "For almost half of women ages 15-44, their "first union" was sans-nuptial cohabitation rather than marriage, says the report from the National Center for Health Statistics. For less than one-quarter, the first union was marriage."
I mean, fair enough. Personally, I'd find it impossible to commit to a marriage without living with someone first, and in this day and age, it's become encouraged in most places. (Except, say, the deep south, or by Patti Stanger.) It's like a test run. Maybe you'll find it cute that he plays Halo every night while you're trying to work, at first, but somewhere down the road it could be the dealbreaker. And how else would you know if your living habits don't clash?
While the rituals of love have changed, the prevalence of class remains ingrained in these statistics. Seventy percent of women without high school diplomas cohabitated as a first union, compared with 47 percent of women who had graduated from high school. And the latter womens' unions had a 53 percent chance of transitioning to marriage, while only 30 percent of the less-educated women's do.
I would wager a guess that this shift towards unmarried unions might have something to do with being raised, as many of us are, by divorced parents. While the tradition of marriage might have been something my mom was concerned with under different circumstances (she's pretty traditional in most other social areas), she instilled in my sisters and me a very liberal attitude and told us it would be more than okay just to live with someone and never get married.

This is one of countless areas in which we need a spiritual father or mother. He or she will know far better than we if what we have experienced is the Holy Spirit or is from Him. Here are a few guidelines that may be helpful, but they must never replace being mentored by someone who is already a close friend of the Holy Spirit.
Flee! Run; do not walk, if what happened to you involved:
-- paying any money for it, even indirectly, for tickets or seats. Conferences, involving fees for food, transportation, lodging, or study materials, are not included in this warning. But we should never have to pay just to hear a Christian preacher preach.
-- any whiff of showmanship.
-- insults to your human dignity, such as groveling on the floor or making animal noises.
-- loss of self-control. The Spirit of the true God does not do that to us.
-- contradictions of Holy Scripture, the Creed, or the prayers and worship of the Church.
-- pointless, meaningless happenings.
We should be suspicious if:
-- we think we were cured. Consult your doctor before throwing away crutches or discontinuing medications!
-- we think we were given a glimpse of the future. Acting upon false premonitions of the future obviously can have unfortunate consequences. Consult your spiritual father.
-- the experience involved high emotions and bodily sensations. Spiritual realities cannot be discerned except by spiritual means. Emotional/bodily "highs" are pleasant, often thrilling, and may even help a person get through the week, but they are not what the Holy Spirit is all about. In fact, their presence makes spiritual discernment more difficult than it is in their absence; their presence obscures the Holy Spirit.
-- we think we have received the Holy Spirit in other than an Orthodox setting. It can happen, for the Spirit blows free and certainly isn't confined to the Church, but such an experience should raise some red flags in our minds.
-- the alleged spiritual experience leaves us feeling satisfied or pleased with our spiritual condition. A true visitation of the Holy Spirit invariably shows us how very far we still have to go.
-- we were seeking an exotic experience. Such seeking is self-serving. Moreover, as Metropolitan Kallistos reminds us,
Direct experience can exist without necessarily being accompanied by specific experiences. There are indeed many who have come to believe in God because of some voice or vision, such as St. Paul received on the road to Damascus (Acts 9:1-9). There are many others, however, who have never undergone particular experiences of this type, but why can yet affirm that, present throughout their life as a whole, there is a total experience of the living God, a conviction existing on a level more fundamental than all their doubts. Even though they cannot point to a precise place or moment in the way that St. Augustine, Pascal or Wesley could, they can claim with confidence: I know God personally.
(The Orthodox Way, St. Vladimir's Seminary press, Crestwood, New York, 1990, p. 22)
It's an encouraging sign if our experience bears spiritual fruit (as distinct from emotional fruit) such as:
-- new insight into our true spiritual condition, insight otherwise known as humility
-- repentance, meaning sorrow over the ways we have "grieved" God, turning from those ways, and having faith in and rejoicing in His measureless forgiveness. True contrition, turning, and faith are all works of the Holy Spirit. (But subtle counterfeits abound.)
-- ability to forgive someone we couldn't forgive before
-- liberation, as when an issue that had blocked our prayer is resolved
-- receiving understandings we needed, answers that are suddenly so obvious we marvel we couldn't see them before
-- courage to do the right thing, of which we were incapable before
-- seeing the right course to take, the right way to resolve an issue, which wasn't apparent before because it required humility from us
-- a doctrine of the Church or passage of Scripture suddenly making clear, immediate, obvious, perfect, practical sense
Again, we should never try to discern these things alone, whether by these few guidelines or any others you may find elsewhere. There are always exceptions and evil is often very subtle indeed. We should always check everything with a wise and mature spiritual father (or mother).

Cupcake liner flowers are one of those crafts that just make you smile! What's not to love? A few days ago I showed you some romantic carnation-like versions here. So now I thought I'd share this little colorful bouquet, made the same way just with the addition of some blue-striped liners and some bright paint.
Its easy for kids and moms too!
I'm originally from California, where Mexican heritage has quite a presence, so though I'm preparing for the upcoming Jewish holiday of Shavuos, I just couldn't help but think how great these would be for Cinco de Mayo! And I even pulled out my authentic Mexican blanket for the photo! And by the way, large vintage sugar and flour shakers (or even salt and pepper, but they're usually much smaller) make great little vases, just stick the stems into the holes and voila!
For a complete cupcake liner flower tutorial, visit my previous post here. Enjoy!

Skip to comments.Not that hard for authorities to get to your email
Posted on 11/13/2012 8:59:33 AM PST by ExxonPatrolUs
WASHINGTON (AP) Your emails are not nearly as private as you think.
Under the 1986 Electronic Communications Privacy Act, federal authorities need only a subpoena approved by a federal prosecutor not a judge to obtain electronic messages that are six months old or older. To get more recent communications, a warrant from a judge is required.
"Technology has evolved in a way that makes the content of more communications available to law enforcement without judicial authorization, and at a very low level of suspicion," said Greg Nojeim, a senior counsel at the Center for Democracy & Technology.
Google, which operates the widely used Gmail service, complied with more than 90 percent of the nearly 12,300 requests it received in 2011 from the U.S. government for data about its users, according to figures from the company.
(Excerpt) Read more at m.yahoo.com ...
What? government snooping on private communications? What? we can't trust the government?
What a surprise.
The government can eat me...unless they're vegetarian.
UH-O you mean they know i sent Aunt Tillie money for her gall bladder operation down in Costa Rica ?
This has been true for as long as there has been an Internet.
We used to have a homeless guy who roamed the streets of Downtown Pittsburgh all day wearing a sandwich board claiming that the government was intercepting his mail.
The other side said that they were controlling his mind through "secret radio".
Little did we know...
This is why I have taught my grandsons not to write anything in email, on the internet, or anything computer related unless they wouldn't mind having it published for the world to see.
Actually they're just as private as I think. That's why any document that I don't want to be part of the public record I encrypt with GPG and send as an attachment. Let the feds have fun trying to break that. Sometimes my friends and I just encrypt web pages and send to each other just to throw off traffic analysis too.
Use carrier pigeons and let the feds chase those down. ;-)
Another benefit of using public-key encryption for communications would be the dramatic decrease of spam.
That's what the drones are for.
Excellent. It's also a good idea to salt your public key with plenty of keys that you'll never use.
Way back when, I knew folks who would have key-signing parties. These are also excellent opportunities to swap grocery store 'loyalty' cards so as to make their databases as useless as possible.
Don't kid yourself that Big Brother isn't snooping everywhere it wants with or without a piece of paper. Dale was right all along.
Dale? Looks like Rusty Shackleford to me.

Did Gloria Allred Frighten OctoMom's Nanny?
Forget the 42 kids running around the house -- OctoMom's Nanny is freaked out by Gloria Allred ... ALLEGEDLY!
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ a woman who identified herself as Nadya Suleman's nanny called 911 last night and said she needed an unwanted guest to leave. Cops tell us when they arrived, Gloria agreed to leave the house and wait outside for Nadya Suleman.
Gloria tells a very different story ... that officers came and went and she remained in the house. Allred says, when Nadya arrived, "I asked her whether or not she had wanted me out of the house. She said absolutely not and that she wanted me there."

- The California K-12 Schools Recycling Challenge is a friendly recycling competition. For the month of February, registered schools collect and report recycling and trash data. Registration is now open for the 2019 K-12 recycling competition! View a list of winners from the 2018 competition.
- The California Green Ribbon Schools Award Program annually recognizes schools and school districts across the state for environmental excellence and efforts to improve school health and wellness. Nominees from the California Green Ribbon Schools Award Program who will go on to compete in the U.S. Department of Education Green Ribbon Schools.
Whether you are a school district administrator concerned about increases in solid waste disposal costs, a recycling-conscious teacher or student, or a city/county recycling coordinator working with your local school district, setting up or improving an existing school waste reduction program can benefit everyone involved. Additionally, in most cases, school recycling is a state requirement for traditional recyclables as well as for organic wastes.
- California Law Regarding Mandatory Recycling
- Why is waste reduction planning essential for school districts?
- Starting a waste reduction program in your school district is easy!
- Need some help getting started?
California Law Regarding Mandatory Recycling
CalRecycle provides the following information about the laws and offers resources to help schools and school districts to meet recycling requirements.
Starting July 1, 2012, businesses and public entities, including schools and school districts, that generate four cubic yards or more of waste per week and multifamily units of five or more are required to recycle, if they are not already doing so. The purpose of this law is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by diverting commercial solid waste to recycling efforts and expand opportunities for additional recycling services and recycling manufacturing facilities in California.
Who Must Comply
Businesses and public entities, including schools and school districts, that generate four or more cubic yards of solid waste per week. Regardless of solid waste service level, all multifamily units of five or more must also comply.
How to Comply
Schools and other public entities can take one or any combination of the following actions in order to reuse, recycle, compost or otherwise divert solid waste from disposal:
- Self-haul.
- Subscribe to a hauler(s).
- Arrange for pick-up of recyclables.
Starting April 1, 2016, a commercial or public entity (such as a school or hospital) including multifamily residential dwellings (5 units or more), that generates a specific amount of organic waste, is required to divert its organic solid waste. Reducing the amount of organic materials sent to landfills and increasing the production of compost and mulch are part of the AB 32 (California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006) Scoping Plan.Who Must Comply
Businesses and public entities (such as schools or hospitals) that generate a specified amount of organic waste on and/or after April 2016.
- April 1, 2016: Schools that generate eight cubic yards of organic waste per week shall arrange for organic waste recycling services.
- January 1, 2017: Schools that generate four cubic yards of organic waste per week shall arrange for organic waste recycling services.
- January 1, 2019: Schools that generate four cubic yards or more of commercial solid waste per week shall arrange for organic waste recycling services.
How to Comply
Schools and other public entities that meet the waste generation threshold can take one or any combination of the following organic recycling activities:
- Source separate organic waste from other waste and participate in a waste recycling service that includes collection and recycling of organic waste.
- Recycle its organic waste on site, or self-haul its organic waste off site for recycling.
- Subscribe to an organic waste recycling service that may include mixed waste processing that specifically recycles organic waste.
Other Related School Recycling & Sustainability Laws
Public Resources Code, sections 42620-42622 requires CalRecycle to provide assistance to school districts in establishing and implementing source reduction and recycling programs. This assistance includes a survey of school districts on their level of program implementation, development of a model waste reduction program, training and ongoing technical and informational assistance, and information on programs for other states and institutions.
In September 2001, Gov. Gray Davis also signed into law Senate Bill 373 (Torlakson, Chapter 373, Statutes of 2001), which puts in place many more mandates for CalRecycle to fulfill. These mandates help CalRecycle staff further our mission of assisting schools by establishing an integrated systems model where academics, administration, and facilities work collaboratively to incorporate resource conservation and sustainability into their organizational philosophy, planning, and implementation.
Additionally, California Education Code, sections 32370-32376, encourages each school district to establish and maintain a paper recycling program in all classrooms, administrative offices, and other areas owned or leased by the school district. These sections also encourage school districts to:
- Purchase recycled paper.
- Purchase the paper with the highest percentage of postconsumer waste.
- Revise procurement specifications to eliminate discrimination against recycled paper and to give preference to the purchase of recycled paper.
- Eliminate the purchase of paper and paper products, which are deemed potential contaminants of the educational agency's paper recycling program.
Why is waste reduction planning essential for school districts?
Educational services in California dispose of large amounts of waste (approximately 562,442 tons per year) [1]. These wastes represent a significant loss of natural resources and school district funds. To be responsible stewards of environmental quality, school districts should review processes and operations, and even curriculum choices and evaluate the economic, educational, and environmental benefits of implementing a comprehensive waste reduction program.
Incorporating waste reduction as part of the school district's overall way of doing business can provide a number of important benefits:
- Reduced disposal costs.
- Greenhouse gas emission reductions.
- Improved worker safety.
- Reduced long-term liability.
- Increased efficiency of school operations.
- Decreased associated purchasing costs.
School district waste reduction programs also foster student achievement by transforming the school environment into a laboratory for learning and providing numerous opportunities for investigation through environment-based education.
The California Integrated Waste Management Act requires that all California cities and counties reduce solid waste disposal by 50 percent. School districts can play a critical role in a city or county's ability to realize this goal. As a result, a school district's host city or county is a natural partner in the evaluation of the existing waste management infrastructure and the development of a comprehensive district wide waste reduction program.
These pages provide information, tools, and other resources to support such partnerships and to facilitate the implementation of successful school district waste reduction programs.
Starting a waste reduction program in your school district is easy!
Many school districts have been successful in improving their economic and environmental performance through the implementation of waste reduction initiatives. Throughout this site, you will have the opportunity to learn about successful waste prevention, composting, and recycling programs in schools throughout California. From rural programs that collect cafeteria waste for vermicomposting, to urban districts that take advantage of cooperative recycled product purchasing opportunities, this site contains information from various districts that have developed active, successful programs to reduce waste and save money!
Additionally, this site provides information on programs that can be implemented to reduce the solid waste generated in all areas of a school district (e.g., administration, maintenance and operations, purchasing, food service, classrooms, etc.) that, when properly implemented, create hands-on learning experiences for students and result in districtwide waste reduction! This site also offers:
- Information regarding the environmental, economic, and educational benefits of implementing waste reduction programs.
- School waste composition information.
- Results from CalRecycle's school district survey regarding waste reduction program implementation.
- Information from other states that have instituted waste reduction programs for their school waste stream.
- And more!

P0411 is a general OBDII trouble code, which means that it has the same meaning for the Chevy Cruze as it would any other car or truck. By definition, the code is letting you know that the ECM has detected incorrect flow in the secondary air injection system.
P0411: Secondary Air Injection System → Incorrect Flow Detected
The secondary air injection system injects air into the exhaust to help lower emissions. Most of the time, P0411 is going to be caused by a failure in this pump or the one way check valve. But there can be other reasons the code is thrown as well.
P0411 Symptoms: Chevy Cruze
P0411 can cause a few symptoms, and can affect the drivability of your Cruze. The most common symptoms include:
- Backfiring- If the AIR system is not running right, the extra fuel vapor in the exhaust can combust under hard acceleration.
- Rich condition
Cruze P0411 Diagnosis
Typically, there are three main components to the AIR system. They are the pump, hoses, and one way check valve. All of this is electronically controlled, so checking the fuse to it is a great place to start.
A good scan tool will allow you to command the AIR pump on. If it doesn't respond, you'll know that it's gone bad.
Here's a great video on diagnosing this code from Flat Rate Mechanic:
One Way Check Valve
The most common cause of P0411 is going to be the one way check valve failing. When it does, it allows moisture into the pump. This moisture can freeze in the winter time.
If frozen water does freeze up the air pump itself, it may blow the fuse to it. This fuse is typically under the hood of the vehicle. That's a great place to start looking. It only takes a second to see if a fuse has been blown.
AIR Pump
The AIR pump itself is the most common cause of P0411. They are relatively affordable. If they are no longer accepting instruction from the ECU, P0411 will be thrown.
Exhaust Leak
An exhaust leak can cause the ECM to think that the AIR system is not working right. Look for damage to the exhaust system. If there's a leak, you should be able to hear it.
P0411 in the Chevy Cruze is not likely to cause the vehicle to break down, but can affect drivability. Any time the check engine light comes on, it's a good idea to service it as soon possible though.
If there is anything that you would like to add, please leave a comment below. Good luck!

You Will See Fire Book Review
Book Review by Ann Jonas, Tradebook Buyer - CSB/SJU Bookstores
this review was published in the St. Cloud Visitor
You Will See Fire: A Search for Justice in Kenya by Christopher Goffard; WW Norton Publishing; December 2011; 317 pp.
You Will See Fire, Christopher Goffard's new book of nonfiction, is the story of Father John Kaiser, the American missionary from Minnesota, who was found dead outside Naivasha, Kenya in August 2000. Goffard, a staff writer for the Los Angeles Time, saw a small piece in the newspaper in August 2007 with the headline "Priest's Death Ruled Homicide." The article stated that the FBI had previously concluded that Kaiser had died from a self-inflicted gunshot, which caused Goffard to wonder how that conclusion of suicide came about.
Goffard then became fascinated with Kaiser's story. He did extensive research, traveling to Kenya to interview Kaiser's friends and acquaintances, government officials, and church associates. Goffard visited with Kaiser's family members in both California and Minnesota, FBI agents, and many other people who knew the priest. He also read the many letters and other writings of Kaiser, including If I Die, published after Kaiser's death.
The result of Goffard's tireless research was a three-part series on Kaiser's death, published in The Los Angeles Times in February 2009. You Will See Fire is a considerably more comprehensive examination of Kaiser's life in Kenya, along with his mysterious death. The title of the book is taken from an unsigned letter Kaiser reportedly received in the mail in the summer of 2000, which stated in Swahili: "Utaona moto;" in English: "You will see fire."
In addition to Father Kaiser, one of the most important characters in You Will See Fire is Charles Mbuthi Gathenji, a Kenyan attorney who was a quiet dissident and champion for the oppressed, whose own father had been murdered for political reasons. During the last five years of Kaiser's life, he and Gathenji had formed a bond, working together to help victims of political violence and oppression. Goffard does an artful job of illustrating the contrasts between Kaiser, who was headstrong and vocal in his beliefs, and Gathenji, who preferred to work in a quiet, methodical, and behind-the-scenes manner. Gathenji was instrumental in gaining an inquest into the priest's death and represented Kaiser's family, the Catholic bishops of Kenya, and the Mill Hill Missionaries, to which Kaiser had belonged.
The inquest and the original FBI investigation are engrossing components of You Will See Fire. Goffard gives readers the necessary political, personal, and evidential backgrounds that factored into the final decisions of both the FBI investigators and the inquest's Kenyan magistrate. Goffard does a remarkable job of illustrating Kaiser's strong Catholic beliefs, his sometimes reckless behavior, and his agitation and despair in the final days before his death. You Will See Fire also provides sufficient Kenyan history to help readers understand the political dynamics of this African country before, during, and after Kaiser's death.
A number of black and white photographs and forty-some pages of footnotes are contained in You Will See Fire. It is a meticulously researched book; it is not, however, cumbersome or dull. Full of mystery and drama, it is a compelling and informative story-a most worthy read.
Christopher Goffard was part of the Los Angeles Times' team that won the 2011 Pulitzer Price for Public Service. He is also the author of a novel, Snitch Jacket.

I see TRUNC(SYSDATE) in the code very often. Is this good or bad?
Over my past two years as a developer, I can tell you it is pretty bad. What does TRUNC(SYSDATE) mean? It is today's date.
But when does today starts and ends? And at the time of the writing, it is already tomorrow in Thailand.
We could argue about using CURRENT_DATE instead of sysdate, but it does not solve everything. Maybe you want your day to end at 10:30pm and initialize for the next day after some post processing. Maybe you want some components running in different timezones. Maybe you want to rollback and rollforward the date in your test systems…
Also the bad news, if your report hardcodes SYSDATE, kind of
SELECT SUM(AMT) FROM T WHERE EXPIRY_DATE>TRUNC(SYSDATE), you will not be able to run it tomorrow in case it fails today.
No, I think that you would better store the date in a table and update it daily.
So you will have
SELECT SUM(T.AMT) FROM T, TRADINGDAY WHERE T.EXPIRY_DATE>TRADINGDAY.TRADINGDAY and a daily job running
You may want to consider the performance overhead of reading from a table instead of using the very performant SYSDATE function…

Abandonment of Battleship Modernization To Be Pressed In Senate. WASHINGTON, Jan. 4—(UP)— Proposals for removal of U. S. Marines from Nicaragua and for abandonment of the battleship modernization program will be pressed in the senate this week by Senator William H. King, Dem., of Utah. These two Issues, tempered by widely scattered views on both the Democratic and Republican sides, will be thrust into an already tangled session in the first two days after congress reconvenes tomorrow. RESOLUTION ANNOUNCED King announced tonight he would introduce the following resolution tomorrow: "Resolved: that it is the sense of the senate that the President should immediately withdraw from Nicaragua the armed forces of the United States. Tuesday the senate under a special order, may take up a motion by King to reconsider a bill authorizing expenditure of $30,000,-000 for the modernization of the battleships New Mexico, Mississippi and Idaho. The senate passed this measure without debate. King desires to kill it. King is understood to have the sympathies of Senator William E. Borah, Rep., Idaho, chairman of the Foreign Relations committee. The recent killing of eight Mar ines and 11 so-called insurgents prompted King's resolution. The Utah senator said the incident resulted from "ill-advised political and military intervention for economic reasons." The state department said it was an "am bush by bandits." MAY BE SIDETRACKED King's resolution may remain i only a personal protest buried by wolk on Previous Issues, has de- other legislation, but his move | «j*?edwthe_ «v« to reconsider the battle ship bill probably will strike up fiery debate, because it challenges a building program outlined under the London naval treaty which President Hoover proclaimed. New Year's Day. Its supporters described the bill as an unemployment relief measure which would put many men to work. The bill authorizes spending $10,000,000 on each of the three b*g warships to modernize their engines and install decks and armor against air and submarine hazards. It was passed Dec. 8, when several opponents were absent. PHI KAPPA PHI Announcement of the result of to be presented on Feb. 4 and ft ,hp flrst election of the scholastic will be announced.
